Tipperary

In honor of International Whiskey Day, I’m trying and sharing some classic whiskey cocktails that you may not have heard of or tried.  

Let’s start with the Tipperary. It’s a riff on another classic, the Bijou, and a close cousin of the classic Manhattan. 

It’s made with Irish whiskey (in homage to the song it’s named after, “It’s a Long Road to Tipperary”, and the county in Ireland), sweet vermouth, green Chartreuse, and Angostura bitters. 

If you’re a fan of Manhattans and chartreuse, this one’s for you.

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

- 1.5 oz Irish whiskey (I used @jjcorrywhiskey )

- 1 oz sweet vermouth

- 0.5 oz green Chartreuse 

- 2 dashes Angostura bitters

- Orange twist for garnish

Directions:

1. Add ingredients into a mixing glass with ice. 

2. Stir until well-chilled.

3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

4. Express the oils from an orange twist over the glass and discard. 

Cheers!
